Igniter II Conversion Kit Lucas 6-Cylinder

The Igniter II Conversion Kit Lucas 6-Cylinder represents a proven electronic ignition upgrade for British Leyland and classic Lucas-equipped vehicles. This points-to-electronic conversion modernizes aging distributor-based ignition systems, replacing mechanical contact points with reliable magnetic trigger technology. Purpose-built for restoration shops, vintage vehicle enthusiasts, and mechanics seeking consistent cold-start performance and reduced maintenance intervals on Lucas 6-Cylinder engines, this kit addresses the primary reliability gap in 1960s–1970s British automotive design.

The Pertronix Igniter II system eliminates mechanical point wear and pitting by substituting a solid-state magnetic trigger module for conventional contact assemblies. The conversion retains the original distributor housing and vacuum advance, preserving stock appearance and simplifying installation without rewiring. Magnetic pickup timing remains stable across engine load and temperature extremes—critical advantages over points that degrade and require frequent gapping adjustments. The compact 0.2 lb module integrates within the distributor cap footprint, allowing stock plug wires and coil connections to remain unchanged.

Mechanics and owners of MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, and Jaguar 6-cylinder models benefit most from this upgrade, as Lucas point-based systems notoriously suffer hot-start stumble and high-resistance failures in humid conditions. Installation requires basic distributor removal and internal module placement—no fabrication or custom wiring harnesses needed. The kit delivers measurable gains in idle stability, throttle response, and fuel economy while reducing point maintenance to zero. Compatible with original Lucas distributors fitted to 1960–1980 British 6-cylinder engines, the Igniter II offers plug-and-play reliability without sacrificing authenticity.
